Entry 3.2

After a long time not being able to decide what part of the many movies made or what scene to choose, I arrived on this part of the movie made in 1971 by Polansky. In this scene Macbeth goes back to meet with the witches begin for help. A large group of witches welcome him to their cave and practice some kind of spell to let him talk to the spirit and know about the future. One thing that stroke me is in the passage where Macbeth has a vision, going from mirror to mirror and finally arriving in a forest. Even though this vision is suppose to show him the long generations of king descending from Banquo, the act of traveling from one mirror to another is very important here, knowing that mirror are seen as windows to different world, here Macbeth keeps jumping from one world to another, with a different Banquo in each and finally the last mirror shows him the horror of his own acts, Banquo stabbed in the back... on the command of Macbeth himself.
Also, before he even drinks the witches potion, Macbeth is taken down in the cave, but one thing this movie adds to the action described in the original book is the fact that the young witches grabbing Macbeth's hand doesn't have to pull him very hard to make him follow her, as if Macbeth was whiling to walk down to hell without hesitation.
